"Let's join you guys!" Inuzuka Kiba climbed down from the treetop and asked Shikamaru.
"Well, I don't really care." Shikamaru looked toward Sakura, as she was the big sister here.
Sakura naturally agreed.
After all, the more the merrier.
"Friendship, huh?"
Hiding in the woods, Kakashi watched the eight of them playing around, and recalled his own past, which left him stunned, "Am I getting old?"
With that thought, Kakashi stepped out of the woods and greeted everyone, "Yo, nice to see you all again, guys."
"You are—"
Naruto pointed excitedly at Kakashi, "Who are you?"
"Huh?" Kakashi almost stumbled, speechless, "Have I not told you my name yet? I'm Kakashi, a Jounin of Konoha."
"A Jounin!" exclaimed Inuzuka Kiba and the others in awe.
"Well, don't get too excited. If you work hard, you can become Jounin too, and maybe even Hokage someday." Kakashi felt he should encourage the six-year-olds.
